There is constant talk about the importance of undertaking in the field of health. It is not easy due to all the barriers that exist, although it is not impossible either because many achieve it. The reality is that all doctors have the freedom to choose the price of their services in private medical consultationsbut could that change?
In this sense, the large chains of offices attached to pharmacies They have established figures that are applied in all their branches. They are usually quite cheap, although not everyone can compete with those prices.
On the other hand, if you open your own workspace there are several aspects that you must take into account to define the prices of your medical consultations. The most important ones range from the location of the office, the competition and if you offer specialty services.
The most important thing is always to find a balance point. If your services are too cheap you will never make a profit and your workspace will be doomed to fail. On the other hand, if they are too high it will be difficult to attract patients.
Set the price of private medical consultations?
With this in mind, the free decision to be able to choose the price of private medical consultations could end. All part of an alleged proposal by the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) with which it seeks to make health accessible to the entire population.
In support of the above, the Dr. Adrian Rivas shared a video in which the main proposals to achieve the democratization of health are mentioned. The project is named after Equal health for all and covers both the public and private sectors.
Main proposals mentioned
Cut unnecessary red tape within hospitals to create more jobs for doctors and nurses. Set maximum quotas on the prices of private medical consultations, as well as reduced rates on treatment and hospitalization. It is mentioned that since it is a very important service for the people, its price must be regulated by the government to avoid hurting the economy of the population or profiting from the disease. The proposed standard price for all private medical consultations is 176.72 pesos and no one may charge a higher figure. For the revalidation of medical records, all doctors must cover a fixed number of free hours. Foot brigades made up of doctors will also be created to go to the most remote places and attend to patients directly in their homes.
Finally, the video mentions that by charging less, more patients can be attended to. In addition to that it would be the basis for making the medical care service available to more people.
However, the Saludiario editorial team has not been able to identify the origin of this video. At the moment it is unknown if it is authentic or not, but in any case we share the publication of Dr. Adrián Rivas.
